Let your Smile change the World

Hello everyone! Today is day 3 of MFT's September Teaser Time and I have another sneak peek card using new MFT stamps and die-namics - this time I'm using the soon-to-be-released Sunny Day Doodles - Celebrate Life stamp set - and there's a video for this one!

The whole "chalkboard art" craze has been going on for how long now? I personally really like the look of it - and thought I'd try and re-create it using the Celebrate Life set.

I also used the new Pierced Rectangles STAX die-namics - gotta say I'm *really* liking them - the piercing along the edges is subtle enough that it works with pretty much every style - whereas if I were to pierce the holes manually (which I don't have time for anyway that's why I rarely do it on my cards) they'd be much larger and "obvious" YKWIM?

This is the inside of the card - I used another sentiment from the Celebrate Life set and did the same chalkboard technique with it.

I'm also OBSESSED with the Textile Backgrounds stamp set - pretty much every card I'll be posting during these previews use it. It's one of those sets that when you first look at it you think it's nice, but then I find myself reaching for it for EVERY card. Love it. Seriously.

How I Add Product Links to my Blog Posts:

Disclaimer

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the product images have sets of letters below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. SSS = Simon Says Stamp, AZ = Amazon, MFT = My Favorite Things etc. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
